gator blades?

[recliner5]

I went to Hustler dealer to get gator blades for my hustler z 60" deck, man tells me that I will need a adapter kit for the new blades he says they discontinue the old blades, the new blades need adapter kit. anyone else have these gators with adapter kits? thanks the number on gator blade is XL 782557

That is a old style offset blade, we don't offer Gators in that style anymore.
If you want to run Gators you will need to go to the flat blade we switched to in 2005, and if your deck is older than 2005 you will need a spacer kit to use the flat blade.
Here is the blade and spacer kit information, check with your dealer for pricing.
Gator blade (non XR-7) 60" - Hustler part # 794859
Spacer kit (1 needed for 1 deck) Hustler part # 352542

A very close watching member has pointed out to me that I have given you the wrong part # for the 60" non XR-7 deck gator blade.
The correct part # is 794859.
I am sorry for the confusion.
